I saw the trailer for this sometime back.
My history of Sim-related things is as follows: played SimTown and SimAnt in elementary school, then never played another SimCity game again (until just last year when I got SNES SimCity on VC). Played a little bit of The Sims, sorta messed around with the second one.
This SimCity though... I really feel like I could buy this one. It's looking great and I've never really given any of the SimCity games a chance.
